Chapter 525 You're Someone Who Enjoys Nightlife

Phoebe hopped back in the car, and there was Theodore, kicked back and looking half-asleep. He cracked an eye open. "Back already?" He'd braced himself for a two-hour wait.

Phoebe saw how beat Theodore looked and said, "You look wiped. How about I drive and you catch some Z's in the back?"

"Aw, you worried about me?" Theodore's eyes twinkled with a smirk.

Phoebe shot back, "Not even a little."

"Liar." Theodore suddenly leaned in close.

Phoebe was hit with a cool minty scent. She eyed him suspiciously, "What are you up to?"

"Nothing," Theodore said, his hand sliding to the back of her neck, pulling her closer. His warm breath tickled her ear as he whispered, "If you're worried about me being tired, we could do something... exciting to wake me up." Exciting?

What kind of exciting?

Phoebe caught Theodore's mischievous grin out of the corner of her eye. Her heart started racing. She quickly slapped her cold hand on his neck.

The sudden chill made Theodore jerk back. It wasn't just the cold; his neck was super sensitive.

Theodore had a fear of people touching his neck.

Phoebe was surprised. "Is my hand really that cold?"

Theodore's reaction was intense, his neck and ears turning bright red. It felt like a jolt of electricity had zapped through him, leaving a tingling sensation. He rubbed his Adam's apple, his eyes suddenly filled with a strange desire.

Theodore said, "No, I'm just afraid of people touching my neck."

Phoebe was speechless.
